For me, straight on to: A Wizard Alone by Diane Duane

The sixth in the series. I think I did read the fifth book, a long time ago. I'm pretty sure I've never read the sixth.
Another splendid book. I definitely hadn't read it before. I'm going to take a bit of a break before going on to the seventh. I think some shorter fiction and then some non-SF.

So first, F&SF Magazine, October/November 2002 by Spilogate Authors (from my big buy earlier this year)

Currently reading The Executioner:Shadow Hunt, one of my guilty pleasure "mens adventure" novels.

Finished Eternal Unrest by Lorne Dixon. A tad slow at points but you don't see many mummy based horror novels these days. Awesome read if you like classic horror films.

Is that of the Mac Bolen series? Love it, but have to hide it away from friends... sort of like hiding Playboy under the mattress when I was a kid!

I like wizardry, urban fantasy AND mystery. And I didn't care much for Dresden. I hear they got better after the first two, but I didn't make it past 1.5 books to find out. There's so much urban fantasy out there, why bother with something that's meh?

As expected there's no ebook version available. The authors are trying to sell rights overseas but Penguin can't sell copies overseas. So only option is to order a physical copy from a SA retailer.

That's what they call it, don't they? I didn't invent the phrase I don't think it's 'hardboiled' either... I think the violence is mild. And detective wizardry is not appealing to me.

And do you like it?

Finished "Against All Enemies", the new Tom Clancy book, last week. It was good but not Clancy good. Although it is an entire new set of characters, he did drop in a cameo to show that the action takes place in the Ryanverse.

I'm in the middle of both "Demonic" by Ann Coulter and "Those Guys Have All the Fun: Inside the World of ESPN" by James Andrew Miller and Tom Shales.

I'm in the middle of book 8 of the Wheel of Time, The Path of Daggers. Should be towards the end of the series a bit before the last one comes out.

Aside from a break to read two Star Wars books inbetween, I have hit the Wheel of Time 1-8 straight so far.

Just finished Kitty goes to War by Carrie Vaughn (this volume is set in San Francisco's Chinatown) and have started Blood Maidens by Barbrara Hambley (third James Asher novel.

I liked the Dresden books but they aren't what I rush out and buy. In fact, I haven't duplicated any in e. They aren't something I'll reread.

Re: Dresden - they were my intro to urban fantasy and as such have a special place in my heart. I love them...to the point I was willing to go to a Jim Butcher signing and pay 30.00 for a hardback copy of the new book. (The past tense there is because I have to work that night and I won't drive in the city he's signing in, even though it's technically close enough for me to go). But ... tomayto, tomahto, to each his/her own...

Thanks Illinifan,I've been wondering whether to get this one or not and I think you've convinced to give it a pass.
